Harvey Highlights Importance of Water Damage Cleanup

POMPANO BEACH, Fla. - Sept. 5, 2017 - PRLog -- Hurricane Harvey made landfall in Texas during the last week of August, but it will be a long time before the people of Houston feel like things are back to normal. The storm was one of the worst to ever hit the state, leaving behind considerable wind damage and catastrophic flooding. Areas of the city were completely submerged after more than 50 inches of rain fell in a span of a few days. That kind of water damage carries serious potential for structural damage and leaves the door open for a hazardous mold problem.

Cleanup efforts for water damage of this magnitude is a large, but vitally necessary undertaking if you want a home that's still safe to live in. The people of Houston have more to worry about than just their homes. Businesses have similar damage and vehicles submerged in the floodwaters may never run again. Cleanup is going to take a long time. Fortunately, the people of Texas don't have a reputation for giving up easy.

Thousands of people are returning to their homes as flood waters subside only to find that water has left major damage in its wake. The cleanup effort for even a small amount of water damage can be considerable, so it's no surprise experts have tapped the cost of Houston's cleanup at tens of billions and rising daily. Water, for all the good it does us, can be a tricky thing to clean up because it opens the door for mold growth. Sure, you can clean the water and mold that you see on the outer walls, but what about what about the wetness on the insides of the walls? You might not even know mold is growing in there for a while. Mold is hazardous to everyone's health, but children and the elderly in particular can get very sick when exposed to mold. Water and mold can permeate even the smallest areas, making it that much more challenging to prevent damage and clean it up afterwards.
